Dated and cliche

I picked this book up as it was on sale. I have to admit that I would not have added it to my reading list had it not have been on sale.

This book would only be useful to the most novice of computer users - those that previously knew absolutely nothing about computer security.

The author's portrayal of the motivation of hackers and their typical psyche is very dated and cliche. Although there was limited mention of cyber criminals, the author too often blurred the lines between cyber criminals and hackers.
